For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage: Saudi Arabia, OPEC's cautious giant, understands that high oil prices can fuel inflation in consuming economies, forcing central banks to rein in demand and thus pushing oil prices down again, and that high retail prices for petrol can create political problems for Europe's and America's leaders. When Bill Clinton met Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah this week, Mr. Clinton argued for an output rise big enough to put an end to these painful prices. Prince Abdullah has promised to "make every effort to ensure equilibrium in the oil markets and to stabilize prices." This week he revealed that Saudi Arabia has been quietly leaking an extra 600,000 barrels per day on to the market since July in an effort to cool prices. If that is true, it just goes to show that managing the oil markets is easier said than done. Despite several Saudi-inspired output increases by the cartel in recent months, the price has remained stubbornly high; this week, it soared to nearly $50 a barrel, the highest since the Gulf war in 1990. As the cartel's oil ministers gather in Vienna on September 10 to hammer out new production quotas, they are once again under intense pressure to release more oil, and fast. To hear OPEC members talk, you might think that serious price relief is on the way. There is discussion of "managing" prices down through a newish price mechanism. At the cartel's meeting in March, ministers quietly agreed to a grand new plan to keep oil within a target band of $22-28 a barrel. If the price of a basket of seven OPEC crudes stays below $22'for 20 trading days, the cartel is supposed to cut production by 500,000 barrels a day. If it stays above $28 for 20 trading days, it will automatically raise production by the same amount. This price band has become the main topic of discussion in advance of the upcoming gathering of ministers. Prince Abdullah even talks of a return to a stable market within months. Oil traders and analysts note that the 20-day limit looks likely to be triggered again this week. A new report by Lehman Brothers, an investment bank, echoes the view of many: "Our expectation is that production will be increased by 500,000 bpd, either through the price mechanism or through a separate agreement." When it released new figures suggesting that domestic oil-stock levels are lower than previously thought, the American government's Energy Information Administration added that it too expects an increase of that size. Adding support to this theory are mumblings from OPEC delegates in support of the mechanism. Two decades ago, the ministers of the cartel gathered in Indonesia to hammer out details of a clever new scheme: a mechanism whereby the price of oil would be fixed, and adjusted every quarter automatically for such factors as inflation and currency fluctuations. Members had agreed on the ambitious plan, except for one crucial detail: at what price to start this price-peg crawling. The cautious Saudis, the self-proclaimed guardians of the oil market, wanted a price below $30 a barrel; the hawks in the cartel, unconcerned about consumers' pain, demanded a much higher price. The ensuring bickering ensured that the scheme collapsed. History may now be repeating itself. When the current price-stabilization scheme was first unveiled, punters with short memories placed big bets that the cartel would adhere to it. By mid-June, the price basket had sailed past the 20-day upper trigger. But OPEC did not "automatically" release 500,000 barrels. various confused and contradictory explanations surfaced from ministers, but not the oil. Only at their next officially scheduled meeting did they come up with a meagre quota increase. 41. The passage confirms that A. high oil prices can be controlled if OPEC increases oil output. B. Bill Clinton accomplished his mission for the visit to Prince Abdullah. C. Abdullah made all his efforts to control oil price without considering the benefits of his own country. D. managing the oil market is easier said than done. 42. How many oil price schemes were recommended by OPEC ministers according to the passage? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four 43. What's the author's opinion about Saudi Arabia? A. Saudi Arabia is the largest country among the members of OPEC. B. Saudi Arabia is the most active country in OPEC to control oil prices for the benefit of the rest of the world. C. Saudi Arabia is the guardian of the world oil market. D. Saudi Arabia seems to have strong intention to control the oil prices to a acceptable level, but it takes actions very carefully for the considerations of its own benefit. 44. What can you infer from the passage? A. OPEC is, in most cases, not reliable. B. All the members of OPEC have the intention to lower oil prices when the prices get very high. C. The oil prices are fully controlled by the market and OPEC can do nothing with them even though they wish to. D. In most cases OPEC has been very efficient in managing oil prices. Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage: The horse preceded man on earth. Although the earliest remains of primitive horses have been found on the North American continent, many scientists believe this small species traveled over a land mass in the Bering Sea to found the beginnings of the modem horse in Asia. It became extinct in America. Other scientists believe that the horse may have originated in Asia. In any event the animal soon spread into China, Europe, and the Middle East. The first modem horses to the introduced into the American continent came with the early Spanish explorers. Horses were bred into many types. The heavy horses developed in the low countries of Europe and were used for work and by the medieval knights to hold them and their heavy armor. The oldest breed of horse is said to the Arabian. The only true wild horses left in the 20th century are found in Mongolia. Horses are said to rate in intelligence after the ape, elephant, and dog. They have excellent memories and can sometimes find their way home when lost, and sense danger better than their masters. The early civilizations of man that had and made use of the horse developed more rapidly than those which did not. 45. Some of the characteristics of the horse are A. poor memories B. great loyalty C. more intelligent than the dog D. in some areas they can surpass the abilities of man 46. The horse originated A. in the Middle East B. in Europe C. on the North American continent D. in Spain 47. The primary uses of the horse for early man were A. for food B. for prestige C. to make money D. to work for him 48. What can be said about the varieties of horses? A. The-early horses were larger than the more modem breeds. B. The only true wild horses left in the 20th century are in the Middle East. C. The oldest breed of the modem horse is said to be the Arabian. D. Medieval knights preferred fast, active horses. Questions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage: Recent intrusions into the lives of public figures have highlighted the lack of laws guarding privacy in Britain. As a result, one issue under discussion as Parliament returns this week is the possible introduction of legislation to curb press powers. The government will probably take no action until it receives a report from a committee chaired by Sir David Calcutt, due in January 1993. The committee is examining whether the press should be regulated by tougher legislation. It is also considering the ways in which the press has invaded the private lives of the famous. The Calcutt committee has reported once before, in 1990. Its recommendations led to the creation of the Press Complaints Commission, under which the press was given the chance to regulate itself without the need for a privacy law. It also proposed a new criminal offence of physical intrusion to obtain information for publication. This proposal, which was not acted upon, would have made it unlawful to photograph people on private property or record their conversations without permission. It would have made it an offence to enter a property to place a bug or obtain personal information. The committee said that the press should be allowed to invade the privacy of a public figure only when it was likely to expose or prevent criminal activity, otherwise his or her private life should be left alone. But a general law protecting privacy was rejected. Since then, reports in some newspapers and magazines about people's private lives have ignored the committee's recommendations. The private lives of Government Ministers and members of the Royal Family have featured prominently in the press. Photographs of the Duchess of York Sunbathing in France, for example, have been widely published. Some sections of the media justify their intrusion by saying it is in the public interest. In a democracy, they argue, the public has a right to know what people in positions of power are doing. Politicians and others are accountable for their lives. Privacy laws, these critics say, would protect the privileged. Additionally, many politicians use their private lives to gain popular support, for example by parading their families before cameras to emphasize "traditional values". Hence, some editors say they are justified in prying into private lives to uncover any faults. Likewise, the Royal Family is supported from public funds, and therefore it is argued that its members should lead responsible private lives. 49. Which of the following occurred secondly in Britain? A. A report from a committee chaired by Sir David Calcutt. B. Intrusion into the lives of public figures. C. Introduction of legislation to curb press power. D. The Government's action to protect privacy. 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. The press has more freedom to publish privacy of the famous after the foundation of the Press Complaints Commission. B. To photograph public figures on public property is legal. C. A privacy law is unnecessary since the press has the ability to regulate itself. D. The Press Complaints Commission was formed out of the press and thus did something in favour of the press. 51. What kind of people are likely to appreciate the invasion of their private life? A. The members of Calcutt committee. B. Royal family members. C. Pop stars. D. Some government leaders. 52. Which is a lawful purpose for intrusion into privacy? A. To disclose criminal activity. B. To be in agreement with Privacy Law. C. To gain popular support. D. To protect the privileged. Questions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage: When did sport begin? If sport is, in essence, play, the claim might be made that sport is much older than humankind for, as we all have observed, the beasts play. Dogs and cats wrestle and play ball games. Fishes and birds dance. The apes have simple, pleasurable games. Frolicking infants, school children playing tag, and adult arm wrestlers are demonstrating strong, transgenerational and transspecies bonds with the universe of animals- past, present, and future. Young animals, particularly, tumble, chase, run wrestle, mock, imitate, and laugh (or so it seems) to the point of delighted exhaustion. Their play, and ours, appears to serve no other purpose than to give pleasure to the players, and apparently, to remove us temporarily from the anguish of life in earnest. Some philosophers have claimed that our playfulness is the most noble part of our basic nature. In their generous conceptions, play harmlessly and experimentally permits us to put our creative forces, fantasy, and imagination into action. Play is release from the tedious battles against scarcity and decline which are the incessant, and inevitable, tragedies of life. This is a grand conception that excites and provokes. The holders of this view claim that the origins of our highest accomplishments - liturgy, literature, and law - can be traced to a play impulse which, paradoxically, we see most purely enjoyed by young beasts and children. Our sports, in this rather happy, nonfatalistic view of human nature, are more splendid creations of the nondatable, transspecies play impulse. 53. The best title for the passage is __ A. Games for Animals B. The Origins and Meaning of Play C. A Playful View of Modem Philosophy D. The Role of Sport in Child Development 54. It seems to the author that young animals play in order to __ A. gain pleasure B. learn specific behavior patterns C. delight their owners D. exercise their growing muscles 55. One may infer from the passage that play is important to adults because it helps them A. understand their children B. interact more with animals and nature C. channel their creativity. D. improve their physical strength 56. The word "noble" (in para.2) could best be replaced by which of the following? A. snobbish B. wealthy C. royal D. admirable Questions 57 to 60 are based on the following passage: To ensure similarity in scientific investigation or monitoring, nationally and internationally agreed standards are being introduced. Several systems of documenting experimental methods and procedures are in use today and are becoming increasingly important for indicating data quality and verifying the integrity of studies. One such approach is Good Laboratory Practice which was introduced in 1982 by the Health and Safety Executive to monitor the testing of industrial chemicals. Since 1982 the range of laboratories inspected has been extended to include those working with pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, cosmetics and food additives. Good Laboratory Practice is concerned with the way laboratory or field studies are planned, monitored, recorded and reported and the conditions under which this occurs. Following the principles of GLP ensures that the studies are properly planned, can be adequately carried out and are fully and accurately reported. As part of the planning, execution and reporting of a study, the various processes carried out are carefully documented as Standard Operating Procedures. The value of long-term observation of environmental factors has only been recognized relatively recently although some monitoring of the environmental factors have been in existence for over a century. The best known long-term study is probably the Broadbalk Experiment at Rothamsted. Broadbalk and the other long-term experiments at Rothamsted and elsewhere are now proving to be extremely valuable by answering questions not considered, nor even conceived, when they were originally set up. Even so they are limited in geographic scope and by the fact that they are confined to one land use category. Current environmental and ecological monitoring networks, while not limited geographically, have in the main been set up to measure just one aspect of the environment. In contrast, the Environmental Change Network (ECN) was set up to give added value to long-term monitoring and data collection by providing a network of sites in different parts of the U.K. and under a variety of land use conditions where comparable long-term data on a wide variety of environmental variables could be recorded. The idea of a network such as ECN was first considered in the mid 1970s but the concept did not reach fruition until 1992. The selection of the initial network of terrestrial sites was based on a range of criteria. One of the most important requirements, given the intended long-term nature of the project, was financial security although consistent quality of research was also required. The project intended that other sites representing more variable climate zones and land use will eventually join the network as funding becomes available. The monitoring carded out at each ECN site covers a range of physical, chemical and biological measurements. Where possible procedures and measurements used by existing national monitoring schemes are employed so that ECN provides an integrating function for the more extensive sectorial networks. Environmental changes due to factors such as climate change are likely to be difficult to identify against the background noise arising from the numerous sources, both natural and man-made, of environmental variability. It is desirable, therefore, to minimize any additional variation due to operator involvement. To this end, and to ensure consistency and repeatability, protocols for each of the key measurements were produced. 57. How many experiment(s) was (were) conducted on the monitoring of the environmental factors? A. Unknown B. Two C. Three D. One 58. What does the underlined word mean in "One such approach is Good Laboratory Practice which was introduced in 1982 by the Health and Safety Executive to monitor the testing of industrial chemicals." A. Performance B. Standard C. Experiment D. Repetition 59. Which is the correct description of "Environmental Change Network"? A. It is a network which is expected to provide~ environmental and ecological data representing more geographical areas. B. It is a current environmental and ecological network to measure only one aspect of the environment. C. Environmental Change Network remained functioning until 1992. D. Environmental Change Network was set up to make long-term monitoring of environment more costly. 60. The passage implies, though it does not explicitly state, that __ is (are) the most promising approach to the long-term monitoring of environmental factors. A. Broadbalk Experiment B. Good Laboratory Practice C. Environmental Change Network D. Standard Operating Procedures Section B Directions: There are I0 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Until recently most historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. They 61 that in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the 62 man. But they insisted that its 63 results during the period from 1750 to 1850 were widespread poverty and misery for the 64 of the English population. 65 contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1650 to 1750, when England was still a 66 agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity. This view, 67 , is generally thought to be wrong. Specialists 68 history and economics, have 69 two things: that the period from 1650 to 1750 was 70 by great poverty, and that industrialization certainly did not worsen and may have actually improved the conditions for the majority of the populace (平民). 61. A. admitted B. believed C. claimed D. predicted 62. A. plain B. average C. mean ' D. normal 63. A. momentary B. prompt C. instant D. immediate 64. A. bulk B. host C. gross D. magnitude 65. A. On B. With C. For D. By 66. A. broadly B. thoroughly C. generally D. completely 67. A. however B. meanwhile C. therefore D. moreover 68. A. at B. in C. about D. for 69. A. manifested B. approved C. shown D. speculated 70. A. noted B. impressed C. labeled D. marked IV. Translation Directions：There are 1 passages in this part of the test. You are to translate the passages into Chinese on your Answer Sheet. A级: 71. The chemical industry depends very heavily on petroleum and natural gas as sources of raw materials. It is likely that in excess of 80% of the literally thousands of different basic organic chemicals employed today are derived from these sources. The petrochemical industry has grown with the petroleum industry. As is the case with the latest trends in changing crude oil types, it must also evolve to meet changing technological and humanitarian needs. The manufacture of chemicals from petroleum and natural gas constituents is an excellent example of the conversion of such materials to more valuable products. The individual chemicals made from petroleum and natural gas are numerous and include industrial chemicals, household chemicals and paints, as well as intermediates for the manufacture of products, such as synthetic rubber and plastics. The processing of petroleum hydrocarbon to yield materials that are, essentially, the building blocks of other chemicals industries, is now very extensive. The classification of materials such as petrochemicals is used to indicate the source of the chemical compounds, but it should be remembered that many common petrochemicals can be made from other sources, and the terminology is therefore a matter of source identification. Petrochemicals are generally chemical compounds derived from petroleum either by direct manufacture or by indirect manufacture as by-products from the variety of processes that are used during the refining of petroleum. Gasoline, fuel oils, lubricating oils, waxes, asphalts, and the like are excluded from the definition of petrochemicals, since they are not, in the true sense, chemical compounds but are in fact intimate mixtures of hydrocarbons.
